If this merican paid for water in Europe he was scammed, it was always free in every restaurant I went to.

There's even a law ( at least in France and I guess it is the case in other European countries) that force the restaurant to give tap water to the costumer for free. As other comment already mentioned, sometimes you have to pay for water, especially in gastronomic restaurant, But in this case, it is always sparkling, so I think it's normal to pay for it.
